Thanks to Debbie who gave me the heads up! The MAC store at the Glendale Galleria released their Starflash Collection out early (I love them for this!) so the BF and I went on a date to the mall, LOL.

He took me to MAC (yes, that evil store!) and bought me some loot! I really tried to just get the colors I don't already have, but I couldn't decide so I ended up getting all of them (except Bold & Brazen since it was just ok to me) and I wanted "Talent Pool" but the MUA said they sold out of that already. :( So I guess i'll just wait when it's released at the Topanga mall on Thursday and nab it!

This collection is definitely pretty, BUT a majority of the colors ARE DUPE-able! So if you already have many of the permanent eyeshadows by MAC, you do not need to rush out to get the eyeshadows from this collection because they are almost identical! I don't have "Fertile" e/s and many compared it to "Top Hat" from this collection, so I am glad I got it and it is indeed a gorgeous plummy color!

They are a lot smoother and 'creamier' than the permanent eyeshadows, I think the finish to these are "Veluxe Pearl" and it goes on so pigmented in just a couple swipes. I AM SELLING BRAND NEW "Star by Night" and "Grand Entrance" eyeshadow on my online store which will launch tomorrow! I am also going to be selling samples of MAC's Lip Erase in "Dim". A small scoop in a 3 gram jar, should last plenty of uses.

I have put some comparison pictures together of the starflash eyeshadow and the dupe down below...so you be the judge!

This is just a list of colors/brands SIMILAR if not identical to the Starflash e/s:

WOW! The new MAC collection is so pretty! (: The last four in the 2nd pic you posted are my favorite. I love Greens and Blues. As for your Lipstick Army blog...that's a lot of lipstick! haha! How do you decide which one you want to use each day? (; or is it all just for play? Either way, how fun! Haha.

those are really lovely swatches and you are one lucky woman to have them all! And I am so excited for your online store! But darn! I am sure when you opened up the online store, I am still sound asleep! lol save some goodies for me ok? hehehe Goodluck and more power!!! Thanks so much for the dupe list! really helpfuL!

your an evil evil woman vanessa! haha grr i was like no no no im not gonna buy em and then you and ailien bust out w this! *sigh* lol yay for your store! i know youve been having problems w it stupid technology lol cant wait to shop around! :}

I ABSOLOUTELY ADOREEEEEEE HOW YOU GIVE DUPES!!!! It's amazingly kind of you and quite frankly you're the best at giving them. "Go" & "Tempting" look the EXACT same...Wow. Who would ever notice that unless you compared it for us....lol.You make me want this WHOLE collection! It looks wonderful,Take care :)

Hum, I'm not sure if I want those... for money sake. But the actual finish is Starflash. It's new and hopefully new MAC will have that finish. I am new to MAC so I am not quite addicted but they are really pretty. Again, HUM.

you TOTALLY helped me eliminate a few shadows that i planned on getting. thank you SO MUCH! i was wondering how i was going to be able to purchase all the ones that i wanted. woohoo! now i'm wondering if i should get any of the newlustre twins... HM. not much of a lipstick person but it would be nice to have for the times i do put them to use...
